**Purpose**: Pterodactyl is the open-source game server management panel built with PHP, React, and Go. Designed with security in mind, Pterodactyl runs all game servers in isolated Docker containers while exposing a beautiful and intuitive UI to administrators and users. [Official Website](https://pterodactyl.io/panel/1.0/getting_started.html) !!! note This documentation assumes you are running Rocky Linux 9.3 or higher. **Install EPEL Repository and other tools**: ```bash sudo yum -y install epel-release curl ca-certificates gnupg ``` **Add Redis Repository**: ```bash sudo rpm --import https://packages.redis.io/gpg echo "[redis6] name=Redis 6 repository baseurl=https://packages.redis.io/rpm/6/rhel/8/\$basearch/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=1 gpgkey=https://packages.redis.io/gpg" | sudo tee /etc/yum.repos.d/redis.repo ``` **Add MariaDB Repository**: ```bash sudo curl -LsS https://downloads.mariadb.com/MariaDB/mariadb_repo_setup | sudo bash ``` **Update Repositories List**: ```bash sudo yum update ``` **Install Dependencies**: Before installing PHP, check the available PHP versions in your enabled repositories. Install PHP and other dependencies as follows: ```bash sudo yum -y install php php-{common,cli,gd,mysql,mbstring,bcmath,xml,fpm,curl,zip} mariadb-server nginx tar unzip git redis ``` 7. **Installing Composer**: ```bash curl -sS https://getcomposer.org/installer | php sudo mv composer.phar /usr/local/bin/composer chmod +x /usr/local/bin/composer ``` This script should work well with Rocky Linux and similar RHEL-based distributions, using `yum` for package management. However, keep in mind that package names and versions may vary between repositories, so you might need to adjust them based on what's available in your system's repositories.
